Bücher von Hans-Harald Müller

Der 1882 in Prag geborene, in Wien aufgewachsene Leo Perutz war in der Zwischenkriegszeit einer der meistgelesenen Erzähler deutscher Sprache; er zählte zu den Stammgästen der berühmten Kaffeehäuser, seine Bonmots fanden Eingang in die Feuilletons der "Neuen Freien Presse" und des "Berliner Tageblatts", deren Geschwätzigkeit er wie Karl Kraus verachtete.Der Hamburger Perutz-Spezialist Hans-Harald Müller legt nun eine ausgezeichnete Biographie vor, die freilich einer Bitte von Perutz nicht entsprechen kann: "Schreiben Sie nichts über mich und alles über meine Romane."

The Narratologiaseries publishes state-of-the-art monographs and collective volumes devoted to modern narrative theory and its historical reconstruction in all the philological disciplines. It is the first narratological forum of its kind in Germany. In addition to literary texts, the series focuses on narration in everyday contexts, in pictorial media, in film and in the new media as well as on narration in historiography, ethnology, medicine, and the law. The series publishes in German and English. All volumes are peer reviewed by two anonymous assessors.

The series "e;QUELLEN UND FORSCHUNGEN ZUR LITERATUR- UND KULTURGESCHICHTE"e; (Sources and Research in the History of Literature and Culture), with a rich tradition stretching back to 1874, is an established feature among the renowned publications for German Literary Studies. Edited by Ernst Osterkamp and Werner Rocke at the Humboldt University of Berlin, the series presents examples of high-quality scholarship examining literary texts in conjunction with historical cultural phenomena, particularly with the other arts. There is an explicit demand for literary studies with a transdisciplinary approach. German literature from the Middle Ages to the present day forms the main focus of the series. As the historical cultural thrust of the series includes aspects of intercultural experience and national perceptions of the other, Quellen und Forschungen is also open to occasional comparative studies. The publications of the series include monographs, doctoral and professorial theses and thematically focused volumes of collected papers. Works presented for acceptance in the series are required to display scholarly relevance and excellence in method and presentation.
